The purpose of this class is to analyze seminal texts by 19th century American writers. It will focus primarily but not exclusively on Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Kate Chopin, Stephen Crane, and others. The course will stress the centrality of The Scarlet Letter in the development of American Literature; it will discuss the importance of Pudd'nhead Wilson in the exploration of race relations; it will draw attention to The Awakening as a proto-feminist text; and it will examine Maggie: A Girl of the Streets as one of the first naturalist novels. At the same time, the course will connect such texts with the literary currents of the 19th century, but also with American traditional modes of writing.
